Criss Cross Jazz 1268 CD

Conrad Herwig

Obligation

Available: September 23, 2005

From Latin romps through Coltrane territory to updating the two bone lead first
launched by Kai and J.J., Conrad Herwig's musical diversity
over the course of his six previous Criss Cross releases has
been nothing short of remarkable.

On Obligation, he takes things a step further
with a funky organ combo set up that highlights the extraordinary work
of guitarist Mark Whitfield and the
budding talents of organist Kyle Koehler.
Tenor saxophonist Seamus Blake
and drummer Gene Jackson complete the lineup,
helping to make this set stand out among Herwig's already impressive catalog.
